There was a face up penny
Lying on the ground
I watched many people
Walk over it and never look down

I watched and I watched
But know one seemed to care
That the face up penny
Was even lying there

I waited for a long time
For someone to pick it up
Thinking it was destined for someone
Who had not arrived yet

For I was told face up pennies
Were dropped by Angels from up above
To let us know they are taking care of us
Down here as well as from heaven up above

So I waited and I waited
But no new person came around
Than I just rambled over
And picked up that little penny
That was lying on the ground

As soon as I touched it, I realized
That this little face up penny
The Angel had placed on the ground
All this time was supposed to be mine
